India Rejects OIC Resolutions on J&K, Accuses PakistanKashmir

<h2>OIC has &#8220;no locus standi&#8221;, says MEA</h2> Reiterating India&#8217;s long-standing position, the MEA said the OIC had &#8220;no locus standi whatsoever&#8221; to comment on matters that it considers strictly internal to the country. It asserted that the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were &#8220;integral and inalienable parts of India,&#8221; adding that &#8220;politically motivated propaganda can never alter this reality.&#8221;

Highlighting developments in the region since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, the MEA said Jammu and Kashmir had witnessed significant economic growth, with infrastructure development, tourism and improved connectivity benefiting its people.

<h2>Counter-allegations against Islamabad</h2> In a pointed counter to Pakistan&#8217;s position on Kashmir, New Delhi accused Islamabad of unleashing violence and repression in what it termed &#8220;Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir&#8221; (PoJK), alleging that scores of civilian protesters, including women and children, had been killed. &#8220;No amount of media blackout has been able to hide these grave violations of human rights,&#8221; the MEA said.

According to the MEA, the only outstanding issues relating to Jammu and Kashmir were Pakistan vacating territories under its &#8220;illegal and forcible occupation&#8221; and ending its support for cross-border terrorism.

<h2>Islamophobia references also rejected</h2> India also rejected what it described as fabricated and hostile references to Islamophobia in the OIC resolutions, accusing Pakistan of using the issue to divert international attention from its own record on minority persecution and sectarian violence, as well as governance failures and political instability.

The MEA said the OIC&#8217;s repeated endorsement of what it called malicious narratives propagated by Pakistan raised serious questions about the organisation&#8217;s credibility and integrity. &#8220;We hope its members would do better and reform this organisation,&#8221; the ministry said, noting that India has consistently opposed OIC statements on Jammu and Kashmir.
